The Emily & Todd Voth @artspace_kcai presents “Cellphone Rollercoaster,” a performative sculptural installation by Assistant Professor of @kcaipainting Noelle Choy (@soyeahill) and William Lanzillo (@lanzilloart | Studio Coordinator at @andersonranchartscenter), inviting phones to have an experience entirely separate from you. Opening & Public Reception Friday, June 26, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 p.m. Exhibition Dates June 26–September 12, 2026 @artspace_kcai Public Hours Wednesday–Saturday | 12:00–5:00 p.m. Free and open to all 16 E 43rd St. Kansas City, MO 64111 @lanzilloart says of Cellphone Rollercoaster, “You have yourself watching your phone [on the ride], but then you also have your phone recording. After the experience, you can watch the recording your phone saw. So it’s kind of blurring all these boundaries between digital media and physical participation.” William Lanzillo is a sculptor whose work spans objects, performance, and interactive experiences. His artistic practice questions the logic of materials and the world around us. His interactive objects and performances become moments to connect with audiences while shifting perspectives and perceptions of social and physical spaces. @soyeahill says of the tourist-style props surrounding the track, “There’s something really satirical about it because it’s kind of making fun of city branding. When you live in a city, you see these things all the time and become desensitized to them, but when you travel to another city, it’s like, what are these landmarks?” Noelle Choy is interested in performativity as a form of reenactment, and its potential to glitch into new narratives through cultural mythmaking. Her work lives mostly as sculpture, objects, and video to seek counter-narratives and the phenomenon of getting big inside our bodies. Elements ask for immediacy as theatrically sentimental props combining craft with improvised methods of making. Her work has a foundational interest in performativity as a form of reenactment, giving grief a place to grow with love. #kcai #rollercoaster #sculpture #performanceart #kansascity - @kcartinstitute
